CEWE Photo Calendars For 2016!

Posted in Uncategorized

It’s that time of year again when I’ve left it to the last minute to buy my photo calendars. I do one every year for the Grandparents, Jonny to have one in his desk at work and one for us to have at home too. I never learn though and every single year it gets to just before Christmas before I realise I still haven’t organised it. I’ve used CEWE before because I’ve always had brilliant prints, canvas and, of course, photo books […]

Fabulous Purple Princess Dress – Le Mu London!

On the first day of December Mummy Endeavours, Family Four Fun, Modern Mummy and I drew the winner of our #WinChristmas competition which ran throughout November. The lucky winner walked away with Christmas in the bag and one of the brilliant prizes she won was her choice of a Le Mu London occasion wear dress. I’ve had my eye on this collection of beautiful clothing for a while now and fell in love with the Golden Glitz dress some time ago. […]

Red Riding Hood – Pleasance Theatre – Review!

Posted in Uncategorized

On Saturday the family and I headed off to the Pleasance Theatre in Islington to see their musical adaption of Red Riding Hood, a show runing until 3rd January 2016. We found it to be superbly fun for the whole family and a really brilliant take on the old fairytale that we know and love! The tale of Little Red Riding Hood has some added on for character moments and the short, well known story of how Little Red goes to visit […]

Christmas Is Coming!

Posted in Uncategorized

Is it just me or are the weeks flying past at super break neck speed right now? I remember the advent calendar wait for Christmas taking an interminably long time when I was a child but somehow we’ve gone from the 1st of December to nearly half way through in the blink of an eye. I’m not sure I like that?! With our upcoming move I could really use time to go a little bit slowly rather than the other […]

Stay Fighting Fit This Winter With Careway!

Posted in Uncategorized

A couple of year’s ago I had flu for the first, and hopefully last, time. I thought I’d had flu before but boy when people say you really know it when you actually have it they’re telling the truth! A cold and sniffles flu is not. A week in bed with a terrible cold and headache doesn’t make it either. Try 4 weeks of permanent chills, aches, headaches, coughs, tummy aches and more… And then add another couple more weeks until you feel […]

Barbie’s Dream House – Review!

Posted in Uncategorized

I remember Barbie’s Malibu Beach House from my own childhood. A girl in my class had one and we all thought it was just about the best toy ever created. She was the girl we all wanted to be that year because not only did she have the Malibu Beach House AND Barbie’s horse and car but she also went to Disneyland in Florida for her holiday! She was a pretty lucky girl eh! My friend Angela and I didn’t […]

A Christmas Tree, A Christmas Tree, We Have A Lovely Christmas Tree!

Posted in Uncategorized

I love Christmas time for so many reasons; I just love the whole period. The build up, the parties, the food, the presents… And having children makes it all the more magical! Jonny and I first got together on Christmas Eve (FIFTEEN YEARS AGO) with a cheeky little snog under the mistletoe in a vodka bar in Norwich and then years later I had Florence on New Year’s Eve. So, the period of yuletide festivities is extra special in our […]

Mini Christmas Stockings – FREE Knitting Pattern!

Posted in Uncategorized

Last year I knitted little mini Santa hats to put on the top of champagne bottles for Florence to give her teachers at the end of term before Christmas. It was a little project for me as a new knitter and I made my own pattern up for the first time which involved increasing and decreasing. I think they looked rather effective in the end and the teachers seemed appreciative of my efforts – useless although the item actually was. […]
